Python 3.5+osfunction

os.scandir

os — file system

Return an iterator of os.DirEntry for a directory — more efficient than listdir.

Syntax

os.scandir(path)

Use it as a context manager or exhaust it: an unclosed iterator keeps the directory descriptor open and emits a ResourceWarning. The speed-up comes from getting the entry type from the same system call: on Unix is_dir() and is_file() usually need no extra stat, and on Windows even stat() comes ready. Entry order is arbitrary, and '.' and '..' are not yielded.

Examples

import os, tempfile
with os.scandir(tempfile.gettempdir()) as it:
    for entry in it:
        if entry.is_file():
            print(entry.name, entry.stat().st_size)  # → ? имя и размер файла
        elif entry.is_dir():
            print(entry.name + '/')  # → ? имя вложенного каталога
